Even though we live in a digital world where you can view and even sign off on important documents using your iPhone, there are still times when it’s best to use a printer. Be it shipping labels, luggage tags or a hard copy of an important document, sometimes it’s necessary to get these onto paper. 

Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to print a PDF from your iPhone, as long as you have access to a wireless or AirPrint-compatible printer. Most popular printer models are already AirPrint-capable, but if you want to make sure your printer is compatible, you can look it up on Apple’s support page. And even if you have an older printer that doesn’t support AirPrint, you might still be able to use your iPhone to print just like you would with a computer. 

Here, we’ll guide you through how to print from a web page or email. If you just want to save a document as a PDF to share or print later, we’ll walk you through that step as well.

Printing from a web page or the Files app

When printing a document viewed inside your Files app or from a web page, the steps are largely the same. First, open the PDF or web page you would like to print. On Safari, tap the triple-dot icon on the right, next to the URL bar, then tap Share. On Google Chrome, you’d tap the Share icon — it looks like a square with an arrow pointing up — to the right of the URL bar instead. And in the Files app, tap the Share icon after opening the document. The Share menu will pop up. Scroll down, and you’ll see the Print option. 

Select Print to open the Printer Options menu. You should then be able to select your printer, choose your printer settings and then print the page out by hitting the printer icon on the top right. 

Printing from email

Open up the email you’d like to print. If you’re using Apple Mail, you would then select the Reply button (the curved arrow icon) and scroll all the way down to select Print. If you’re using Gmail instead, you’d tap the three dots icon on the upper right corner and then select the Print all option. 

Saving a web page or email as a PDF

Be it a web page or email, you can choose to save the document as a PDF instead of printing it. When you’re on the Printer Options page, instead of hitting the printer icon, you would select the Share icon next to it. After that, simply select Save to Files to save the web page or email as a PDF. If you want to retrieve that saved PDF, just launch the Files app, and you should see it there. 

In the event your printer doesn’t include AirPrint, you might still be able to print a PDF from your iPhone. HP, Canon and other printer companies offer their own iOS apps that can assist in sending documents to printers that do not support AirPrint. While many of the above steps will be similar, you’ll want to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer where they diverge. For instance, for printers set up with the HP app, you’ll tap the Share icon and then tap Print with the HP app in order to send a document to the printer.

ChatGPT that you wear behind your ear? Maybe. OpenAI is reportedly developing its first AI-powered device and will unveil it in the second half of the year, Axios reported on Monday.

Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer, said at Axios House Davos that the devices will be «among the big coming attractions for OpenAI in 2026,» the site reported. Lehane said the company hopes to introduce the new products in the latter part of the year, but did not provide any details about the device or when it would be available for purchase.

A representative for OpenAI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

If an earlier leak also proves true, the ChatGPT-powered device will be worn right behind your ear.

According to a leak earlier this month from @zhihuipikachu, a consumer-electronics blogger, the OpenAI device coming later this year will be a rival to Apple’s AirPods and will consist of two pill-shaped gadgets that rest behind the ear. They will be metallic and stored inside an egg-shaped case. The leak said to expect the initial launch around September 2026, but also said there would be a total of five devices (released) by the fourth quarter of 2028.

Whatever the new device is, it will be the inevitable creation of a company that set its sights on developing AI-powered hardware from the moment it bought tech design company IO for $6.5 billion in May 2025. IO was founded by former Apple design chief Jony Ive and others to develop hardware products heavily integrated with AI. At the time, speculation was that OpenAI and former IO designers would collaborate to create an AI-powered smartphone.

In November, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Ive said they had developed a prototype for a screenless device that could filter out «digital noise» and avoid sending constant notifications and alerts. This device would rely on ambient intelligence, learn from its surroundings and provide spatial awareness, all while operating quietly in the background.

Altman said the device would be «simple, beautiful and playful,» but did not offer details about what it would be.

ChatGPT, launched in 2022 by OpenAI, is an AI assistant designed to accomplish a wide variety of tasks, such as creating documents, translating languages, answering questions and more. It and similar products are rapidly moving into a wide range of tech products and everyday devices, including smart earbuds and wearables. Companies are racing to embed conversational AI into products of all kinds, sparking both excitement and controversy over privacy, data security and other issues.
